March Favourites

This will be a feature on my blog monthly. In it, I will include beauty favourites and just random favourites!

Beauty:


Clinique High Impact Curling Mascara
This has been a rediscovered favourite. While cleaning out my collection, I came across this tube - it still has plenty of product in it, and hasn't dried in the slightest. I have relatively short and straight eyelashes, so this along with an eyelash curler is the perfect combo.

Rimmel Scandaleyes Khol Kajal in Nude
I've always felt white on the waterline to be too off-putting and strong, so when Rimmel released this liner in nude it was a a must-have for me! I'm so glad with this purchase, and I use it every day. Definitely a repurchase when I finish with this one.

Benefit Erase Paste in Light
This is the perfect under eye concealer for my skin tone. It instantly brightens my under eye area, which I love. I've had this sample size tube since July last year and it is only running out now.

MAC Lipstick in Party Parrot
I am so happy that MAC re-released this limited edition lipstick. I bought it straight away from the online MAC store, and it hasn't been a disappointment. I love bright and bold colours, and this bright pink is perfect.

MAC Fix Plus 
I have been using this as a setting spray for about five months, and I still have a third of the product left. It really helps in getting rid of the powdery look of my foundation, and it is a refreshing spray. I also sometimes use this product when I want bolder eye colours by spraying my brush first before applying. I also alternate between this and another setting spray when using my beauty sponge to wet it.

Johnson's Moisturising Day Cream
I've been using this day cream for about a year or so and this is my third tub. I love this stuff, it is great at moisturising. The only downside is it doesn't contain SPF, but I do wear foundation, or at least BB cream on a regular basis, all of which do contain SPF.

OPI The Spy Who Loved Me Nail Polish
This was one of the colours that caught my eye in the OPI James Bond collection. It is a shimmery red, with goldish/orange shimmer. I'm not really the biggest fan of shimmery nail polish, but this colour is perfect. I love it. I use it on my toes all the time, and at least a few times a month on my nails.

MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC15
This is my current favourite foundation. I've been using it for over three months, and I love it. I'm quite pale, and now that winter is coming (heheheh) I probably will stay this colour until next summer - it is a perfect match! I will definitely repurchase this when I run out (which appears to be soon), but I also want to try the MAC Face and Body foundation as I've heard good reviews about it and my skin has started to become more dry. The coverage on this foundation is wonderful.

MAC Studio Fix Powder in N3 
I love this powder to set my foundation. My skin hasn't been too wonderful lately, and this powder foundation has helped give just a bit more coverage.

Essence 3-in-1 Concealer
I find the pink shade perfect in counteracting dark circles, which I've had a lot of since going back to university. I don't find the product to cake in the slightest, and for the price - it is a bargain! I saw on the Essence Facebook page that they were discontinuing this product, so I will definitely have to pick up another one before that happens.

Sleek Face Form Palette in Fair 
The contour shade in this palette is my all time favourite. See review here.

theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer
I bought this highlighter half way through March, but have wanted it for a while. Because of my light skin, I find that this highlighter is perfect and it blends into my skin nicely. Previously, I was using MAC's Soft and Gentle but I find it too glittery. See haul post, where I purchased this and other products here.


Swatches (L to R): Rimmel Scandaleyes Khol Kajal in Nude, MAC Party Parrot, Benefit Erase Paste in Light (not blended), theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer 

Random:

Game of Thrones (TV) - I blame my boyfriend for this. Almost finished Season 2, which is good because Season 3 starts tomorrow :D

The Roman Republic - as a history major, you can't blame me for including this in my monthly favourites. Love the Roman Republic~

What have your favourites been this month?
